Take a tour of Rotunda of Thessaloniki in Thessaloniki, Greece -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The city of Thessaloniki in northern Greece holds one of the most complete and ancient structures in all of Europe.
The Rotunda is an important historical site in the city which has served multiple purposes including a church and mosque.
The then Emperor of Rome ordered the construction of this large domed building in the year 306.
Though the original intention of this structure is ambiguous, its first known use was as a Christian church.
In about 1590, the Rotunda was captured by Muslims and converted into a mosque and as a result still contains a minaret.
This structure has been named a national monument for its ancient architecture, tumultuous history, and Christian mosaic fragments.

(26 Feb 2018) Walls were first built to defend this city more than 2-thousand years ago, and have been extended, reinforced, and rebuilt over centuries by its rulers from the Romans to the Ottoman Empire.
Cutting through parts of modern Thessaloniki, they are mostly visited by history lovers, or tourists looking for a panoramic view of Greece's second largest city.
For Muhammed Adeel they provide survival.
The 24-year-old Pakistani man has created a makeshift home in the stone chambers built into the walls.
Formerly protected cannon positions, they are now filled with used food packaging, filthy blankets, and rolled-up mattresses.
"Everyone has dream for his parents which are in Pakistan. And that's why we are coming here for our future. But we have no work, no home, nothing else," he said after spending a near-freezing night in the dome-shaped casemate.
European countries cracked down on mass migration 15 months ago, leaving tens of thousands of refugees and migrants in limbo in Greece, confined to its eastern islands or in mainland camps.
Adeel and many others hoped to evade the authorities and pay smugglers to reach central Europe.
Instead, his money and hope ran out in Thessaloniki where homeless migrants number in the hundreds, unable to seek help for fear of deportation.
Destitute migrants also seek shelter in abandoned buildings or open spaces used by local homeless people, taking care to arrive and leave during the hours of darkness to avoid detection.
Greek aid volunteer Elena Stamatoukou, from the charity SolidarityNow, said the NGO received requests for help from 289 people in Thessaloniki in December.
Adeel said he paid smugglers 2,500US dollars to travel from Turkey to Thessaloniki, a trip that involves crossing a heavily-policed river that separates the two countries and a six-hour journey hidden in the back of a truck.
According to multiple interviews conducted by the Associated Press, migrants expect to pay 3,000-4,000 US dollars for the next leg of the European trip: travelling by truck from Macedonia to Serbia, hiding in an Italy-bound freight container, or risking a flight to Europe with forged ID papers.
It is a journey that now feels like a world away for 33-year-old Pakistani migrant Kamran Misi, who slept rough in Thessaloniki for six months but was recently taken in by a church-run shelter.
His goal now is to have something resembling a normal life.

(26 Feb 2018) Walls were first built to defend this city more than 2-thousand years ago, and have been extended, reinforced, and rebuilt over centuries by its rulers from the Romans to the Ottoman Empire.
Cutting through parts of modern Thessaloniki, they are mostly visited by history lovers, or tourists looking for a panoramic view of Greece's second largest city.
For Muhammed Adeel they provide survival.
The 24-year-old Pakistani man has created a makeshift home in the stone chambers built into the walls.
Formerly protected cannon positions, they are now filled with used food packaging, filthy blankets, and rolled-up mattresses.
"Everyone has dream for his parents which are in Pakistan. And that's why we are coming here for our future. But we have no work, no home, nothing else," he said after spending a near-freezing night in the dome-shaped casemate.
European countries cracked down on mass migration 15 months ago, leaving tens of thousands of refugees and migrants in limbo in Greece, confined to its eastern islands or in mainland camps.
Adeel and many others hoped to evade the authorities and pay smugglers to reach central Europe.
Instead, his money and hope ran out in Thessaloniki where homeless migrants number in the hundreds, unable to seek help for fear of deportation.
Destitute migrants also seek shelter in abandoned buildings or open spaces used by local homeless people, taking care to arrive and leave during the hours of darkness to avoid detection.
Greek aid volunteer Elena Stamatoukou, from the charity SolidarityNow, said the NGO received requests for help from 289 people in Thessaloniki in December.
Adeel said he paid smugglers 2,500US dollars to travel from Turkey to Thessaloniki, a trip that involves crossing a heavily-policed river that separates the two countries and a six-hour journey hidden in the back of a truck.
According to multiple interviews conducted by the Associated Press, migrants expect to pay 3,000-4,000 US dollars for the next leg of the European trip: travelling by truck from Macedonia to Serbia, hiding in an Italy-bound freight container, or risking a flight to Europe with forged ID papers.
It is a journey that now feels like a world away for 33-year-old Pakistani migrant Kamran Misi, who slept rough in Thessaloniki for six months but was recently taken in by a church-run shelter.
His goal now is to have something resembling a normal life.
"It is very painful for us and for the homeless people who stay on the street or in the park or anywhere," he said.

The 24-year-old Pakistani man has created a makeshift home in the stone chambers built into the walls.
Formerly protected cannon positions, they are now filled with used food packaging, filthy blankets, and rolled-up mattresses.
"Everyone has dream for his parents which are in Pakistan. And that's why we are coming here for our future. But we have no work, no home, nothing else," he said after spending a near-freezing night in the dome-shaped casemate.
European countries cracked down on mass migration 15 months ago, leaving tens of thousands of refugees and migrants in limbo in Greece, confined to its eastern islands or in mainland camps.
Adeel and many others hoped to evade the authorities and pay smugglers to reach central Europe.
Instead, his money and hope ran out in Thessaloniki where homeless migrants number in the hundreds, unable to seek help for fear of deportation.
Destitute migrants also seek shelter in abandoned buildings or open spaces used by local homeless people, taking care to arrive and leave during the hours of darkness to avoid detection.
Greek aid volunteer Elena Stamatoukou, from the charity SolidarityNow, said the NGO received requests for help from 289 people in Thessaloniki in December.
Adeel said he paid smugglers 2,500US dollars to travel from Turkey to Thessaloniki, a trip that involves crossing a heavily-policed river that separates the two countries and a six-hour journey hidden in the back of a truck.
According to multiple interviews conducted by the Associated Press, migrants expect to pay 3,000-4,000 US dollars for the next leg of the European trip: travelling by truck from Macedonia to Serbia, hiding in an Italy-bound freight container, or risking a flight to Europe with forged ID papers.
It is a journey that now feels like a world away for 33-year-old Pakistani migrant Kamran Misi, who slept rough in Thessaloniki for six months but was recently taken in by a church-run shelter.
His goal now is to have something resembling a normal life.
"It is very painful for us and for the homeless people who stay on the street or in the park or anywhere," he said.

Thessaloniki (Greece) Travel - Rotunda of Thessaloniki

Take a tour of Rotunda of Thessaloniki in Thessaloniki, Greece -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The city of Thessaloniki in northern Greece holds one of the most complete and ancient structures in all of Europe.
The Rotunda is an important historical site in the city which has served multiple purposes including a church and mosque.
The then Emperor of Rome ordered the construction of this large domed building in the year 306.
Though the original intention of this structure is ambiguous, its first known use was as a Christian church.
In about 1590, the Rotunda was captured by Muslims and converted into a mosque and as a result still contains a minaret.
This structure has been named a national monument for its ancient architecture, tumultuous history, and Christian mosaic fragments.

Migrants seek shelter in Thessaloniki's ancient walls

(26 Feb 2018) Walls were first built to defend this city more than 2-thousand years ago, and have been extended, reinforced, and rebuilt over centuries by its rulers from the Romans to the Ottoman Empire.
Cutting through parts of modern Thessaloniki, they are mostly visited by history lovers, or tourists looking for a panoramic view of Greece's second largest city.
For Muhammed Adeel they provide survival.
The 24-year-old Pakistani man has created a makeshift home in the stone chambers built into the walls.
Formerly protected cannon positions, they are now filled with used food packaging, filthy blankets, and rolled-up mattresses.
"Everyone has dream for his parents which are in Pakistan. And that's why we are coming here for our future. But we have no work, no home, nothing else," he said after spending a near-freezing night in the dome-shaped casemate.
European countries cracked down on mass migration 15 months ago, leaving tens of thousands of refugees and migrants in limbo in Greece, confined to its eastern islands or in mainland camps.
Adeel and many others hoped to evade the authorities and pay smugglers to reach central Europe.
Instead, his money and hope ran out in Thessaloniki where homeless migrants number in the hundreds, unable to seek help for fear of deportation.
Destitute migrants also seek shelter in abandoned buildings or open spaces used by local homeless people, taking care to arrive and leave during the hours of darkness to avoid detection.
Greek aid volunteer Elena Stamatoukou, from the charity SolidarityNow, said the NGO received requests for help from 289 people in Thessaloniki in December.
Adeel said he paid smugglers 2,500US dollars to travel from Turkey to Thessaloniki, a trip that involves crossing a heavily-policed river that separates the two countries and a six-hour journey hidden in the back of a truck.
According to multiple interviews conducted by the Associated Press, migrants expect to pay 3,000-4,000 US dollars for the next leg of the European trip: travelling by truck from Macedonia to Serbia, hiding in an Italy-bound freight container, or risking a flight to Europe with forged ID papers.
It is a journey that now feels like a world away for 33-year-old Pakistani migrant Kamran Misi, who slept rough in Thessaloniki for six months but was recently taken in by a church-run shelter.
His goal now is to have something resembling a normal life.
"It is very painful for us and for the homeless people who stay on the street or in the park or anywhere," he said.
